Through Her Eyes (Second Part in the Beyond Her Eyes Trilogy)

Chapter One

YN whistled as she padded around the kitchen, her bare feet slapping against the tiles.

"Miss. Gray?" YN turned down her music, urging J.A.R.V.I.S to continue with what he was saying. "Captain Rogers is at the front door, shall I let him in?"

"Yes, J.A.R.V.I.S, thank you." YN cursed as she banged her bare knee against an opened drawer, lifting her leg to inspect what she was sure would end up in a bruise. "Hey, Steve." She called, hearing the large man walk around the corner.

"Morning, YN." YN smiled at the blonde man, forcing her stomach to stop fluttering. "I thought we could just do some reading here today, the weather is too good to sit inside the tower, and that view is killer." YN chuckled, noticing her own lingo in Steve's words.

"No worries, I'll go and get my computer and set up on the balcony." YN did just that, leaning over to snag some sunglasses as she left her and Tony's room. "Is Nat back yet?" YN asked, opening her computer and sipping from her lemonade.

"Yeah, showed up late last night. Said it went south and she was lucky to get out." YN nodded, tapping on her keyboard lightly. "Fury has us both heading off to Siberia for a few days next week." YN frowned, looking at Steve through her glasses as he ran a hand through his blonde hair. YN fixated on the muscles expanding underneath Steve's skin. YN picked up on the end of Steve's sentence, grimacing as she tried to figure out what he said. "... potential totalitarianism." YN nodded, finally understanding what he was saying.

"Well, good luck." Steve smiled at her, his cheeks filling with color as their eyes met. "So, today I'm-"

"YN?" YN frowned as her name was called, more importantly the way it was called. YN jumped to her feet rushing inside to where Tony was falling to his knees inside the Iron Man suit.

"Tony? Hey, what happened?" Tony didn't answer, shaking his head. "J.A.R.V.I.S?"

"Mr. Stark has experienced an anxiety attack, but refuses to acknowledge it." YN sighed, slipping her bare knees onto the tiles, knocking on the helmet covering Tony's face.

Steve stood at the door to the balcony, jealousy swarming in his belly as he watched YN grab Tony's newly showing face. "You okay, baby?" Tony nodded, grunting as he pulled away from YN standing to his feet and stumbling out of his suit. Steve clenched his fists, turning back to the balcony, choosing to sit in the sun whilst the couple sorted out what was happening with Tony.

YN followed Tony toward the lab, quickly grabbing his arm before he could shut her out. Tony turned to her, face paling and breath stuttering. "YN, I just need to be alone for a while." YN sighed, stepping back from Tony and fiddling with her fingers.

"Alright, well I'll be on the balcony with Steve, we're doing todays catch up here." Tony ignored her, moving into his lab and shutting the door in YN's face. YN clenched her teeth, letting a few traitorous tears fall down her face.

She slowly ascended the staircase, her face screwing up as she forced more tears away, painting on a smile as she walked back outside. "Sorry about that. Let's get back into it."

"So, men have been on the moon?" Steve gasped a few hours later, bringing the computer back to his face.

YN chuckled, shaking her head. "You've seen aliens rampaging through New York and a wormhole in the sky and that shocks you?" Steve glared at her before returning his astonished gaze to the computer.

"Thank you for doing this, YN." YN shrugged, smiling at the blonde super soldier. "No, really. I know that you've had a rough year and this is probably the last thing-"

"Steve." YN chuckled, lifting her hand to grab his and stop it from waving around. "Honestly, this is the easiest job I've had since... well ever." Steve laughed, his hand still encased in YN's. "Plus, I always have a good time."
